Description

On 6th February 1819, Singapore was claimed as a trading outpost of the British Empire to "secure to the British flag the maritime superiority of the Eastern seas".In governance, religion, entertainment, and many other spheres, the imprint of Singapore's colonial past is indelible.

Also, learn about Singapore's national flower, the Sarkies brothers, The Straits Times and finish at one of the most famous hotels in the world, Raffles Hotel, where the drink called 'the Singapore Sling' comes from.
